I can modestly say I, Dr. Deji Ige own one of the largest private collections of turntable records (vinyls) in Naija(1000+ & still collecting) & largest in Northern Naija.

I spent last Christmas with @karim_adeyemi and his family, on a high level consultation for @karimadeyemifdn . This Christmas, Karim sent me his autographed Goodluck Jersey in appreciation... Beyond football and @BVB09 , this is why we love Karim 🇳🇬 ✊🏾 🇩🇪

Precious moment with my beloved sister @aderonkeige AKA Ronkoos! After everyone had finished "goshing" and "aawnning" on how we look, talk & act alike, we finally found a perfect spot that exudes what we represent & the perfect words that define us. Cheers to you , omo iya mi ❤️

I've owned many stages; been immersed in intoxicating performances & lost in enigmatic moments of artistic bliss, but none compares to what transpired at Abuja Afrojazz Festival 2024 by @Iamthesalako at @jabiboatclub. It was purely Spiritual; it was Home.

Focus on the message, ignore the man. If you've got a message that can change a nation, why let your voice be tamed? 🇳🇬 ✊🏾

Only what you own can be called your own... if you like, be a Nigerian and continue to be proud of America, England... " bo pe bo ya, olomo a ka omo e. Teni ni teni, takisa ni taatan". 🇳🇬 ✊🏾

Catch up with me and poetry, with @Pearl_rocker the amazing guitarist, tomorrow 7am on NTA Network @ntaprogrammes . It's all about love!

The GLOW device is one of the priceless gifts I have ever got, simply because of the thought the friend who gifted it had (written in the letter) before acquiring it for me, from a distant foreign land, and ensuring it made it to my space. It is the simple things...🌹Gratitude!

On the stage of @TETFundNg National Research Fair; where my poem "I Will Tell Our Glory" rekindled pride of identity in my compatriots. Nigerians actually love Nigeria & are proud of the country, if given a reason, or a reminder of who we truly are...slide 4 tells it all 🇳🇬

@sola_akinbo There is @LagosPoetryFest and it's profound. The 2024 edition held recently.

[Deji Ige, PhD @DejiIge]

The Legendary Daughters and Sons of the Sun shall gather, to invoke such poetry, written with the blood of our forefathers, woven around the tongue of our mothers, and has never been told in a foreign tongue. @abujapoetryfestival is upon us.

By the time we finish reciting British history eloquently with American accent, our children’s children would have been fed full with misconceptions; in doubt of their history, their root, their truth and pride of identity, while lost at sea of dignity~Deji Ige 🇳🇬

A memo to the religious, the spiritual, the spiritualists,, those who think the are helping God fight his battls and the ones who perpetrate atrocities in the name of God...✍️ I greet una!

This emotive message from a revered topmost former public office holder & global opinion shaper in Nigeria, after my spoken word, is why I cannot easily give up on Naija. Many quietly & literally feed off our words, optimism & faith. This is simply the wind beneath my wings.🫡🇳🇬

[Deji Ige, PhD @DejiIge]

Again, I will stand tall to tell my side of the Nigerian story-a tale of glory & a tale of gloom, but in the radiance of our tale of glory I will bask. Until the lions learn to tell their story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.🌞🇳🇬✊🏾Change is Possible @UdoIlo

Here is an Ekiti Amazon, Joke Akinsanmi; one of the unsung heroes who quietly help knit the fabric of Nigeria, with dexterity, decorum & grace. Lest I forget, she is my sister, of whom I am proud. Congrats on this honour from @GuardianNigeria
